Air pollution linked to higher risk of infertility in men

Air pollution and noise pollution have long been known to have detrimental effects on human health. A recent Danish study published in The BMJ has shed light on the link between these environmental factors and infertility in men and women.

The study, which involved over half a million men and nearly 400,000 women aged 30-45, found that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution was associated with a higher risk of infertility in men. On the other hand, road traffic noise was linked to a higher risk of infertility in women over the age of 35.

Infertility is a significant global health issue, affecting many couples trying to conceive. Previous research has shown negative associations between air pollution and sperm quality, as well as success rates of fertility treatments. However, the impact on fecundability (likelihood of conceiving) has been inconsistent, and the effects of transport noise on infertility have not been well studied.

The findings of this study suggest that exposure to higher levels of PM2.5 over five years was associated with a 24% increased risk of infertility in men aged 30-45. Road traffic noise, on the other hand, was linked to a 14% increased risk of infertility in women over 35. These risks were consistent across different geographic areas and socioeconomic statuses.

While the study cannot establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship, it highlights the potential impact of air and noise pollution on fertility. The researchers suggest that regulating these environmental factors could help protect the general population from these exposures and improve birth rates in the Western world.

Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore potential strategies for mitigating the effects of pollution on fertility. In the meantime, raising awareness about the impact of environmental factors on reproductive health is essential for promoting overall well-being.

For more information, you can refer to the study published in The BMJ titled “Long term exposure to road traffic noise and air pollution and risk of infertility in men and women.”doi: 10.1136/bmj-2024-080664

This study was provided by the British Medical Journal and underscores the importance of addressing environmental factors in promoting reproductive health.
